    It doesn’t make that much difference what Tesla calls their latest beta software update imho.

    Autopilot and FSD Beta are two different systems of which autopilot is the less advanced one. There’s only one death ever linked to the use of FSD Beta and that includes the older versions aswell.

    The only statistics available regarding the safety of FSD and autopilot are from Tesla itself which one should probably take with a grain of salt but they seem to idicate it being 5x safer than an average American driver.

    Then there are ofcourse plenty of independent YouTubers doing videos of putting these systems to test such as AI DRIVR and CYBRLFT who give pretty honest assesments on the strenghts and weaknesess of them.

      I know. Tesla has already advertised that their newer system is fully based on ANN. Factoring in their current track record doesn’t inspire any confidence in me. I’m not reading that paywalled article, but one death for a system that only had limited rollout until very recently isn’t enough to make me believe it’s reasonably safe either. There just isn’t trustworthy, large-scale data out there yet. We need to keep the perspective in mind here: this is pretty much Tesla’s last chance to actually make good on their empty promises and they have a lot to prove.

      At this point I’m not willing to take any statistical claim coming from Tesla, salt or not.
